Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit (Notable Original Work)
Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is much different than most people have been taught. Blasphemy is to knowingly lie about another, it is not accidental. It is a deliberate act of the will, that does not fear God, and is not afraid they committed it.

Does James Contradict Paul Regarding Faith
One of the main texts that have been used to assert that works are necessarily a part of faith is taken from James 2:21, which would appear to indicate that Abraham was saved not by faith alone, but when works were added, but this is false.

Eternal life ~ Jesus' Definition of Salvation
Most New Testament passages that define salvation as eternal life. Many believe that salvation is separation from sin, though this is a consequence of salvation, it is not the definition of salvation according to Jesus, who said salvation is eternal life.

Eternal Security – Its About God (Notable Work)
The reason that Eternal Security is so important is because it’s about God – His integrity and ability, rather than the man that is saved. Can God give us to Jesus and can Jesus keep us. Salvation is not about joining, it’s about becoming!

Jesus ~ The Ultimate Example of Faith (Notable Original Work)
Jesus was the greatest example of faith, pleasing the Father in everything He did, trusting in the Father to the other most, committing His human life to God in obedient faith; fulfilling more than any man; what He demanded of His followers – faith.

Judgment Mandated for the Christian Walk (Notable Work)

MOST VITAL ARTICLES

1 ~ JESUS ~ Our City of Refuge
John 5:39 says: “Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.” Jesus is found throughout the OT, even in the symbols that God set up such as The Cities of Refuge.

3 ~ Figures of Speech ~ Part 1 ~ A Brief Introduction
Figures of Speech are used in every culture. They are words used in an unusual manner which indicate they are not speaking about something literal, but hold a meaning that is implied, such as “get off my back,” or calling Jesus “the Lamb of God.”

6 ~ Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit
The Greek word from which we get the English word blasphemy means to knowingly slander, which is to intentionally lie about something, with no desire to correct the lie. This is one of the reasons why a person cannot unknowingly commit this sin.

7 ~ An Amazing Old Testament Prophecy ~ Genesis Five
